Startling truth about hybrid of polar bear and brown bear

In the harsh Arctic, nature sometimes creates rare hybrids between polar bears and brown bears.

As a result of climate change, melting ice has caused two previously isolated bear species to begin meeting at the edge of the Arctic. Photo: Pinterest.

First appeared in Canada. The first hybrid specimen between the two bear species was confirmed in 2006 in Victoria Islands, Canada. Photo: Pinterest.

They have intermediate characteristics of both species. They have creamy yellow fur, a long snout like a polar bear but a strong body like a brown bear. Photo: Pinterest.

Capable of normal reproduction. Unlike many other hybrids, hybrid bears can produce healthy offspring for many generations. Photo: Pinterest.

Adaptable to many environments. They can hunt on land like brown bears or swim long distances in cold water like polar bears. Photo: Pinterest.

An example of dynamic evolution. This hybridization reflects the ability of animals to adapt quickly to climate change. Photo: Pinterest.

Not common in the wild. Although recorded, the number of hybrid bears in the wild is extremely rare. Photo: Pinterest.

They have become ecological warning signs. They represent the blurring of boundaries between species caused by humans. Photo: Pinterest.
